Bringing clean air and fuel efficiency benefits to Californians

VRRRM (Vehicle Repair, Retirement, and Replacement for Motorists) is bringing clean air and fuel efficiency benefits to Californians by reducing the number of high-polluting vehicles on our roadways. The VRRRM program aims to repair, retire, or replace thousands of polluting vehicles in California, potentially removing more than 500 tons of pollutants from the air in California by 2013.

VRRRM pays for approved emissions-related diagnostics and repairs that result in a significant and durable emissions reduction. The Foundation has received up to $20 million in grant funding to launch this statewide program which builds on the Foundation’s existing air quality programs.

The project was made possible by a grant from the Reformulated Gasoline Settlement Fund. Created as a result of an antitrust class action, the purpose of the Fund is to achieve a clean air or fuel efficiency benefit for California consumers.
